Mary Mary don't keep me waiting   There's not light enough to see and you know   If I'm not there when he gets back home   He's going to come out looking for me      Don't take what you can't carry   Don't keep what you don't need   Full speed, please Mary won't you hurry back   The sky is black and it's menacing me      Mary did you change your motor car   You're just to far away to see      Mary Mary don't keep me waiting   There's not air enough to breathe and you know   If I'm not there when he gets back home   He's going to come out looking for me      Tell no one where you're going   Speak not one word of me   Mary please believe me, I   I tell no lie   I have an eye for some troublesome things      Mary did you come alone now   I'm just too far away to see      Big tree won't you be my cradle   Rock me but don't let me sleep   Would you keep me secret if you're able to   'Til Mary comes I'm counting on you      Mary are the headlights blinking there   I'm just too far away to see
